. The pet book. Pets. THE PONY HE pony is a hero, and bred of heroes. Wherever it may have come from, or of whatever breed, its ancestors braved and conquered dangers and endured privations which would have killed any animal less heroic. It is prob- able, indeed, that because of the priva- tions which these horses underwent when in a wild or semi-wild state, their size was reduced and the races of ponies were developed. Strictly speaking, a pony is a horse, fourteen and one-half hands high, or less. The finest breeds of ponies come from regions of scanty vegetation and unfavorable climate. This is true of the cold and dry climates of Russia and Scandinavia; the sterile islands of Shetland; the moimtains of Wales, and northwest America, with their scanty vegetation; the heath-covered downs of Exmoor and New Forest in England; the arid wastes of the southwest United States and Mexico, and of Arabia. In all of these regions races of ponies have been developed, probably from wild herds -of hardy horses. The struggle for existence under these adverse conditions was so severe a test, that all but the hardiest died from starvation. However, those which did sur- vive were so tough and strong that they were able to give to their offspring the endurance to withstand cold or heat, scanty food and scanty water. Thus it has happened that through generation after generation of hardening, the pony of to-day is superior in many ways to the horse which has been 31.
